Using an attributes file

Use the -o flag to read an attributes file into the lp command. Use the -j flag to read an attributes file into the afpxpcl, afpxpdf, afpxps, and remotexf commands.

For example, to print a file called myfile, using the attributes in the myatts file, enter:

lp -o "attributes=myatts" myfile

The command above is equivalent to this command:

lp -o "copies=5 duplex=yes output-bin=collator" myfile
